Eos Amaterasu: Warren Zevon originally
Agatha Macbeth: Ah yes!
Agatha Macbeth: Thx Eos
Eos Amaterasu: there's a magic quality this time of year
Agatha Macbeth: Yep
Eos Amaterasu: year turning around

Archmage Atlantis: Warren Zevon is a young person to me
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Agatha Macbeth: In China, won't be new year for another month

Agatha Macbeth: Think it's a Tiger year this year :)
Archmage Atlantis: Tibet, an ancient culture, seen as if new
Eos Amaterasu: Are there any songs that put you in, or come out of, a PaB / 9 secs /90 secs / state?
Paradise Tennant: hmmm
Archmage Atlantis: Reminds me of NBC's slogan...."new to you
Agatha Macbeth: I think my head's stopped working now
Agatha Macbeth: Not that it works much anyway :)
Eos Amaterasu: Songs are like a certain kind of suspension in an emotional moment
Agatha Macbeth: Well for me they certainly create emotion
Paradise Tennant: yes
Archmage Atlantis: Do you have pets or children Agatha?
Agatha Macbeth: Specially something like Puccini
Agatha Macbeth: No
Paradise Tennant: loves puccini
Agatha Macbeth: Yeah :)
Archmage Atlantis: Go get a gerbil
Agatha Macbeth: Do they taste good?
Archmage Atlantis: Reconnect to life
Eos Amaterasu: Opera does it - Marriage of Figaro is for me the ultimate
--BELL--
Eos Amaterasu: total clariy, all deceptions exposed, yet mercifully so, with humor and compassion and love
Archmage Atlantis: I have no idea, but if you eat him or her, then you will know who you are
Agatha Macbeth: Yeah, a carnivore!
Agatha Macbeth: Think I'd better go now, falling asleep
Agatha Macbeth: Bye all
Eos Amaterasu: 'night, Agatha
Archmage Atlantis: N ice stelllatos
Paradise Tennant: nite agatha
Eos Amaterasu: *clarity
Paradise Tennant: :) funny how some music can just bring tears to your eyes
Paradise Tennant: not necessarily of sadness it is almost that you are weeping for the beauty of it
Eos Amaterasu: touched, moved
Eos Amaterasu: world's vulnerability, your vulnerability
Paradise Tennant: yes
Paradise Tennant: sort of like it twangs something inside us that renders a resonance ..
Paradise Tennant: one of the human condition
Eos Amaterasu: There's that famous scene in The Shawshank Redemption where all the prisoners in the yard experience this big pause for a couple of minutes while a Mozart aria fills the yard
Paradise Tennant: yes a very powerful movie
Eos Amaterasu: and then the hero, forget his name (Tim Robbins?), is thrown into solitary, but he says he still has Mozart with him, in his mind
Archmage Atlantis: Our mind is a wonderful gift, and a curse
Eos Amaterasu: we have not choice but to use our mind to deal with our mind
Eos Amaterasu: mind/heart, or heart/mind, I should say
Eos Amaterasu: music is a lot about knowingness through emotion, through heart
Paradise Tennant: yes nods
Paradise Tennant: very true
Archmage Atlantis: There is no should, only seeing
Eos Amaterasu: How is that a curse, Arch?
Archmage Atlantis: to see, is to wish better things for others
Archmage Atlantis: Yet that is not in my power
Eos Amaterasu: there's an unrequitedness to our actions, to our heart
Archmage Atlantis: Thus to know truth is a curse, and a joy
Eos Amaterasu: "For deep in my heart I know there is no help I can bring." (To Ramona, Bob Dylan)
Paradise Tennant: :)
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, Eos, deep in the heart it is
Eos Amaterasu: One of my current PaB songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nHwILs8bdo
Archmage Atlantis: Break to watch, then
Eos Amaterasu: give up all possibility of fruition
Paradise Tennant: lovely

Eos Amaterasu: Yes... I've changed a little bit over the last year, but not much
Eos Amaterasu: If I had more time I might experiment with more AVs
Eos Amaterasu: There's a question of whether it's more / multiple AVs for oneself, or for others
Eos Amaterasu: In a way you could be anybody, built around circumstances
Eos Amaterasu: In a way that's what we are
